While he didn't win the 2012 London Chess Classic, Vladimir Kramnik had an excellent tournament, going +4, taking clear second and moving back into second on the rating list. In this video interview, he discusses his performance, Magnus Carlsen and his chances in the upcoming Candidates matches. Worth a few minutes of your time.

Dennis, can I highlight the following article:http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=8720

Anand was named Indian sportsman of the year for his world title defence. The interview reminds us that we are indeed fortunate to have him as the world champion. He's all class talking chess to the Indian public. A real gentleman, for whom no one has anything negative to say about him.

Given the might of carlsen I'm sue it won't be too long before Anand loses his crown. But lets enjoy him while we can as we'll miss him when he's gone.
